After-hours
services
offered
by Vetlife
By GEORGINA MCKERCHAR BVSC
Vetlife
Have you ever noticed how animals always
seem to get sick or injured at the weekend or late
at night?
Fortunately, your local Vetlife clinic has a
professional team in place to attend to your pet
after hours.
Simply phone your usual Vetlife clinic and your
call will automatically be diverted to the after-
hours vet on call.
After-hours services are usually provided by the
clinic in the region that is equipped with the most
diagnostic equipment.
This means that they are in the best position to
look after your pet in an emergency.
Most of these clinics have an in-house blood
analyser and X-ray machine, to enable a diagnosis
to be made quickly, and appropriate therapy to
be initiated.
Nurses are also available to assist the on-call
vet as required.
After-hours care is primarily directed at stabili-
sing the patient and any injuries that may
be present.
Unless your pet requires surgery urgently, such
as in the case of a caesarean section or twisted
stomach, it will usually be delayed until the fol-
lowing day.
This allows the patient to stabilise overnight,
with a full team of nursing staff available for
their care.
In some situations, a pet who is sick outside
of normal clinic hours may actually be okay until
the morning.
If you are at all unsure, phone your Vetlife clinic
and the on-call vet will be able to talk you through
your options.
They can also arrange to meet you at the clinic
if your pet needs to be seen immediately.
Situations that warrant immediate attention
include trauma such as road traffic accidents,
seizures, poisoning, and difficulty giving birth.
Contact your local Vetlife clinic today to find out
where after-hours services are provided, should
you need them.
Artwork will stay on
By MAT KERMEEN
ART CLASS: Amber Lemon and Jay Dreaver
display their work.
FAB WORKS: Iris Heal, Phoebe Hellyar and
Margarida Dias show off their fabulous
works.
BRIGHT SPARKS: Will Dudley and Louis Nurse with
their bright murals.
TEAM EFFORT: All 11 students show off
their creations.
TALENTED YEAR five and six art
students have ensured they will leave
a lasting impression on Leeston
Consolidated School, long after they
finish their time there.
Eleven students involved in the Art
GATE (Gifted and Talented Education)
programme were chosen to paint large
murals to be placed around the school.
The children were chosen for their
creativity and artistic confidence, and
their ability to manage themselves in a
group and individually.
As Leeston is an enviro school, the chil-
dren's aim was to create engaging and
exciting outside spaces.
Prominent Selwyn artist Kate Hellyar
volunteered to work with the budding
young artists.
The school's Nicky Johanson was
proud of the children's efforts.
She said the school was thankful to Ms
Hellyar and ITM Leeston, which donated
the boards and paints for the murals.
